Once Upon a Time in the West Reviews

Westerns aren't my favorite genre, but this is definitely a masterpiece in that genre. It would crack my top 5 if I made a list.

Like many westerns, this one starts slow, but once the characters step in, curiosity takes over. The stunning visuals and sweeping shots are mesmerizing. The harmonica is a bit cheesy, but the soundtrack works. The "you remind me of my mother" line? Favorite!!

Very slow. Should be a lot shorter. Watched in multiple sittings. Some phenomenal framing but otherwise not engaging.

Perfect. The direction is simply incredible! Sublime! There were one or two things I either didn't agree with or didn't quite understand, but that doesn't detract from the film's power in any way. A true masterpiece. Masterfully executed from beginning to end.

I think this is the first time I could behold how good the image quality can still be preserved, considering the year this was produced. Story wise it is an ok+ but I liked the experience overall

Unique atmosphere!

ermmm idk probably need to rewatch to understand it better tbh

Gorgeous music and great shots

A slow and beautiful western where silence speaks louder than words. The music, the faces, and the waiting make every moment feel meaningful.

7/10

Gets better with each rewatch!

7/10
